In the days that I have been injured & off my feet, my garden has been pushing out the tomatoes. Since I cannot wade into the over growth myself (have to keep my bandages clean and dry!) when friends come by to visit I ask one favor of them, “Could you bring in any tomatoes …
Balsamic Jelly Glaze Over Baked Fish
Balsamic vinegar jelly is my latest favorite flavor! Recently, while keeping a gluten free diet to diagnose food allergies I had to give up my favorite beer jelly. A sad day in jelly land. What was I going to put on sandwiches and eat with cheese?? Balsamic Jelly turns out to be a great choice. …
Minted Green & Grain Salad
As you may be aware, I am eating an anti-inflammatory diet to help answer a few health questions. The bulk of my diet, aside from a nummy smoothie, has been greens and sprouted grains. In order to make life easier on myself, I end the weekend by prepping food. This is as easy as unloading …
Thai Coconut Soup at the Market
This is my favorite volunteer day soup. Beginning last fall, I spend a couple of hours every Wednesday morning hanging out at the South Royalton Market. Actually it qualifies as volunteering but really it is a great opportunity to ‘get off the farm’ and socialize. The South Royalton Market is a full-service grocery store offering …
Oxtail Stew, Cheering Up A Dreary Day
Today is a dreary New England day. I thought that I could transform it from dreary into cozy with a bowl of oxtails and a loaf of bread. Truthfully, I haven’t seen much oxtail up here, so when I saw it at the market, I jumped on it. Is it just that I haven’t noticed …

Leftovers = Fiddlehead Forbidden Fried Rice
I live for leftovers! I always make more food than Tall Dark & Handsome and I will eat just because I am planning on leftovers. Unfortunately, sometimes a little bit of this and a little bit of that will take up a whole lot of fridge space. Sometimes my leftover meals are complete failures like …

Niçoise Stuffed Eggs
Now that it is BBQ weather, parties are planned and our social scene is booming! Lately, when we go to a party, I bring a few jars of jelly or something else from my canning pantry. I am beginning to wonder if my friends are tired of me trying out new jelly flavors on them. …
Forbidden Rice Salad with Edamame and Avocado
Rice salad is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. Not as obvious as potato or macaroni salad, a rice salad is so much more versatile. No need to add all the mayonnaise and unhealthy fat to get full flavor. A little bit of rice vinegar is all I need to down a monster bowl …

Potlicker Glazed Ham
ThePotlicker’s Easter Ham Here is one more yummy use for Potlicker Beer Jelly. I used the Hefeweizen with Orange Zest flavor because I was sure that the citrus notes would pair well with clove. If you live outside of Vermont and my beer jelly is sadly not yet available, substitute apple jelly. The jelly makes …
